I invited Michael Jiang of Blog In The Wall to join us for dinner. Michael is one of my readers from Suzhou. I don’t know how many readers I have in Suzhou but Michael was the only one who emailed me asking for a meet up. We went to a restaurant near my hotel and had a traditional Chinese dinner.
Meeting readers is something I never get tired of. One of the reasons I started this blog was to meet new people. The blog has allowed me to create many new friendships, many of them will last a lifetime. While you maybe able to put a price on the money this blog makes, you can’t put a price on the friendships it has created. Friendship is priceless.
